Still unidentified snowflake

We've yet to identify the designer of this snowflake. I am really enjoying tatting it, as you can tell. If no one objects and anyone wants it, let me know and I will post it here or email it to you. I don't know what else to do.

I tatted this one with the last of the blue/green size 50 hand dyed thread from New Zealand that Clyde so generously shared with me. You will notice red spots in a few places where I joined on the outer chains. The only other size 50 in this thread is a variegated with red in it. I had to use it for the shuttle thread and switch the left over blue/green shuttle thread to the ball thread. Phew! I was afraid I wouldn't make it. As it was, I still had to leave out the last regular round of chains before I started the outer round with the long picots.

I think these little snowflakes will be perfect to fill in between the big ones on my Rainbow Christmas Tree this year.

Wow I love the colors you did it in again! I read your other post about Lyn Morton books...I'll have to check that out when I have more time. I'll let you know if I come across something. In the meantime I'll just admire your lovely snowflakes!

Thank you Ladytats. I hope you enjoy tatting it. Yeah, me too Jane.Yes Diane. You need to start tatting snowflakes. Or do you get enough of real snow?Thanks Clyde. Is it too early to put it up now?Thank you TattingChic. If you find it let me know.
